Paloma is a captivating Kuvasz who spent her life roaming on a farm. She came to us when her guardian's lifestyle changed. From the moment she arrived, she requested belly rubs and full-body massages of her thick, curly coat, and has been charming everyone in sight ever since!
Paloma is deeply, enthusiastically human-oriented: she'll nuzzle into your hands, follow you around the yard, and somehow convince you that she belongs in your lap.. even though she definitely doesn't fit at 86 pounds! She is a lot of dog with a lot of love to give.
Paloma is playful and social, and happiest when she has space to run, something interesting to investigate, and her favorite people nearby. She loves carrying enormous sticks around the yard like her prized treasure! As a livestock guardian breed, Paloma has a strong prey drive and will do best in a home without cats or small animals. She's a big, bouncy girl who doesn't always realize her own size, so older or more confident kids will be the best fit, and a securely fenced yard is a must. Paloma is ready for a home that matches her heart: big, warm, and always up for an adventure!
Strong prey drive - no small critters for this cutie!
Happiest with a securely fenced yard and active household - True to her guardian roots
An absolute love bug who lives for her people - a gentle giant!
Dogs: Paloma is social with other dogs. If you have a dog at home we are happy to facilitate a meet to ensure a good match before heading home!
